    This.

    Also, when people agree with something, quote it, and just say "this"....

    "Men's rights" weirdos. Libertarians.

    Outside of the internet, I don't think I've ever encountered one.

    No, fuck the kind of pathetic, boring, whiny anti-feminists who think "misandry" is an actual thing.

    Minions and Minion-based memes.

    'Open letters', so-called celebrities bitching about each other.

    Go back to the earliest pages in AH, and read the threads.

    People talked some amount of shite back then on AH. It makes today's forum look like The British Academy, by comparison.

    That doesn't look all that exceptional for AH today and at least it is mildly more (infinitesimally more) amusing than the scatological stuff that people still think is original and entertaining.

    Is that the house in Dalkey that everyone was drooling over?

    Gamergate. People arguing about Gamergate.

    Examples of the scat please - just so I know what to avoid posting and offending the scat judges.

    Barbra Streisand's house. She tried to get rid of pictures of it from the net, inadvertently publicising the pictures in the process.

    Any time anyone tries to take something off the net it becomes more powerful. The Streisand Effect.

    Apparently it's Barbra Streisand's House. Don't know any more about it.

    I don't think Streisand cares what you boys think - or see.
